Just Starting out..
Hi,
I am about to launch a Photography forum at http://talkphotography.net, currently it only has a default skin however a skin is currently being made and I plan to have some paid posting done before officially opening the forum.

What I wanted to know is whether the number of forums I have currently are too much/too less/okay in your opinion because I wouldnt like a new forum to look empty.

Thanks in advance

I'd say a little too much. You might want to merge some of them until the site looks popular, otherwise it will look more empty than it already is now.

I agree with Ashley , too many forums for starting out . Let the site grow into the proper size by seeing what your members like and want . Too many forums with not enough posts might make visitors leave quickly .

Yes, I would definitely suggest removing some of the forums. At the moment, there are 10; I would lower that to about 6-8.

In addition to what everyone else said, I think the site would be better if you had a more dynamic picture gallery. Instead of a separate forum, why not have some sort of special image gallery where members can upload their pictures. If you don't understand what I mean, search for an image gallery mod on vB and you'll get it. Good luck.

I'd suggest adding a custom welcome message or install the vb plugin for custom welcome headers.

oh, so we have 3 photo guys here now. I think we should help each other as though we are running photo forums they have different focus.

I would suggest be very very careful while going with paid posting. IMHO photography is quite difficult subject for paid posting unless they (posting service you hire) really have photo hobbyist or people with some knowledge of photography.
